“The more ways that a student reports that their school uses AI, the more likely they are to report things like 'I know someone who considers AI to be a friend,' 'I know someone who considers AI to be a romantic partner.'"

1 in 5 high schoolers has had a romantic AI relationship, or knows someone who has

A national survey of students, teachers and parents shines a light on how the AI revolution is playing out in schools – including when it comes to bullying and a community's trust in schools.

First Trump and Hegseth crapped on the generals, now Johnson pisses on the troops. These are the forces that will take over America?

Why would they?

"Johnson ruled out taking up legislation to ensure military paychecks keep flowing during the government shutdown. The job in the House is done.”

"Why would OpenAI and Microsoft spend $23 million to give 'free training' on how to use AI to teachers? Because they love teachers? No. Because they want to get their products into public schools in an attempt to cultivate the education market. ... To automate teachers, in other words."

Hamilton Nolan @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social · 1d

It takes no special technical expertise to know that
1) AI's main value proposition today is automating labor,
2) AI is going to supercharge economic inequality, and
3) If we do not get out in front of that policy-wise, we are fools.

Thinking of AI as a Social Problem

No need to know the unknowable. The knowable is bad enough.

“One of the negative consequences AI is having on students is that it is hurting their ability to develop meaningful relationships with teachers, the report finds. Half of the students agree that using AI in class makes them feel less connected to their teachers.”

Rising Use of AI in Schools Comes With Big Downsides for Students

A report by the Center for Democracy and Technology looks at teachers' and students' experiences with the technology.

Prosecution of Comey looks headed to a dead end.

"Federal prosecutors ... determined that a central witness in their probe would ... likely prevent them from establishing their case to a jury."

They are always 2-3 plays away from suddenly trailing by 2-3 touchdowns, either deep passes toasting their secondary or RBs picking up ground in multiple 10-yard chunks with ease.

Would you count on this team to keep up a stout defense week to week?

Maybe when we see that first.....

A batshit senile old man who is an embarrassment to the entire league. Too bad the NFL never came up with a rule to drive an incoherent owner off camera and out of the GM chair while not pulling the club from him completely.

They could call it the Jerry Rule.

About 20 years overdue now.

Tried to watch "Napoleon" and lasted a half hour. Turned it off when Napoleon was whining to his cheating wife.

Kept saying to myself,"I know Joaquin Phoenix wouldn't act like this by choice. You know he didn't write that horrible script himself. But why did Ridley Scott let this nightmare happen?"

We elected the most soulless, self-absorbed empty suit we could possibly scrape from the gutters of late-stage capitalist grift. Twice.

This is on us as much as on him. As a country, we showed ourselves as infantile rubes and slack-jawed marks. As a people, we asked for this. Twice.
